Testimonials

“Thank you Deb for selling my house so quickly. You really made the process of selling seem easy and low stress. Your knowledge of the market is excellent and the professional photos and staging that you had done for my house really made a all the difference. “

‘We have worked with Deb for buying and now also for selling, and it has been such a pleasure! She is knowledgeable, flexible, and very responsive. We were first time buyers and first time sellers, and she was patient with our questions and accommodating. Being local, she knows the town well and gave great advice. We would use her again and again and will always recommend to friends! ‘

“Deb helped us navigate the Fernie – Cranbrook region and ultimately find a fantastic property! Not being from the area, we appreciated her perspective, flexibility, and persistence when it came to exploring and choosing a place that was just right for us.   Thanks Deb!’

“Deb’s experience and local knowledge was critical in guiding the sale of our vacation property in Fernie. We appreciate her engagement and willingness to help where she could to ensure a smooth transaction. We highly recommend Deb for your real estate needs.’

We bought our quarter share with Deb Trand 15 years ago. The experience was so positive that we asked Deb to repeat her magic when we decided to sell it. We couldn’t be happier. The time and attention Deb gave to the details was remarkable. She anticipated our questions and always provided timely advice. Our sale went through without a hitch and we were thankful we had Deb’s expertise and help. Deb Trand isa real professional in her field. If you are thinking of buying or selling a property in Fernie BC, give Deb Trand a call. You’ll be like us, happy that you did.

‘Our family have been regular visitors to Fernie for almost 15 years. We met Deb Trand many years ago and were always impressed with her knowledge of Fernie, including the Fernie real estate market, her enthusiasm and excellent overall customer service. With Deb joining Century 21, we were able to engage Deb recently to help us sell our condo on the ski hill at Fernie (we recently upgraded to a bigger unit). Although Deb presented us with a comprehensive marketing plan to sell our unit, we had confidence in her based more on her reputation and integrity, and the fact that we had known her for so many years. In a relatively short time frame, we received offers for our unit with a resulting sale. We would not hesitate to recommend Deb to anyone looking for real estate in and around the Fernie area.”

‘Deb was excellent at helping us find a vacation property in Fernie. She communicated rapidly and helped us close in a short time period with minimal hassle. Would highly recommend!’

“Deb Trand is great to work with. She is professional and personable. She was representing both seller and buyer(me) for the property. I feel she did a great job managing this. She was good at walking me through the process and always quick at answering any questions”

We have known Deb for several years and found her to be honest, helpful, and very professional to work with while she was in the property management business….a tough, competitive, business! When we decided to sell our condo in Fernie, we told her we would try to sell it ourselves but would list it with her if that did not work. She was very helpful and forthcoming with advice during our attempt to self-sell. When that became too complicated, we listed it with her. She provided the help and guidance we needed and worked with us to set a price with which we were comfortable. The timing was awkward for us (and for her); since we had to return to the states as soon as we listed it. She sold it in a matter of a few days; and kept us apprised after each showing; and candidly provided feedback to help us understand the evolving market. The sales process was even more complex across an international border and we insisted on understanding all aspects of the process. She was always available to answer our questions and very patient in helping us to understand. Thoroughly professional….and extremely knowledgeable of the market in that area!

‘I found Deb easy to work with, professional in all aspects of the sale and available any time we needed a question answered. She’s hard working and honest which helped make the sale of our Fernie home low stress.’

‘We used Deb Trand’s services to both buy, and 13 years later, to sell our condo in Juniper Lodge (Fernie Alpine Resort). She was knowledgeable, responsive and provided good advice on both occasions. Our purchase and sale transactions both went smoothly. We would not hesitate to use Deb as our realtor again if we are looking to buy in Fernie again.’

Testimonial Tuesday! It’s been a busy summer but I make client service my top priority!
‘Deb was an absolute pleasure to deal with on our recent real estate purchase. We were not in the same city we were buying in, and also right in the middle of the COVID pandemic and Deb did everything she could to make the experience positive and safe for our family. We felt like she was extremely personable and extremely knowledgeable on the valley. She also made it extremely easy to work with her remotely with excellent contacts for inspections, and also legal services. We would absolutely recommend Deb to anyone looking for a high value and trustworthy agent.’

‘What an easy and seamless experience it was buying a property with assistance from Deb. As a foreign purchaser we were not sure of the procedure to follow, but Deb made everything seamless, all documents and compliance was completed ahead of time and without fuss.

Every few days we would receive a reminder of what was needing to happen and by what date. So satisfying to find someone so friendly and accommodating.

Upon settlement of our purchase Deb even gave us a gift, which we were so surprised about!

We would highly recommend Deb to anyone wanting to buy or sell their property in Fernie.

Such a great experience! 10/10 from us!

Well done Deb Trand!’  Jim and Robyn Kolesnyk

‘Deb was outstanding to deal with, prompt, knowledgeable of the area and patient. She has great relationships with other realtors in the area which helps greatly in finding the right property and negotiating a successful deal. Deb responds quickly to questions with thoughtful and thorough answers. Would recommend working with Deb to find your next property.’  Garrett Hubbell

‘Thanks again for the seamless navigation of the condo sale.  It’s a complex system and there are no ways around the obstacles, but with your guidance we plowed through them with the utmost speed and efficiency.  Thank you.  Although it is highly unlikely that Nina and I will buy another FERNIE property, we will certainly recommend you should anyone ask.’

‘We enlisted Deb Trand to market our condo in Fernie. Deb provided upfront information and met with us to discuss our situation and listing requirements. She promptly listed the property with professional photos and a 360 virtual property tour. Deb’s knowledge of the Fernie real estate market enabled her to recommend a competitive listing price and aggressive marketing strategy which generated an offer within 2 days. Deb provided strong guidance throughout the negotiation and ultimate closing process. We would highly recommend Deb Trand, she is a skilled and effective realtor, and intend to enlist her services again in the future.’

Deb is outstanding. She helped me sell my place very quickly and I couldn’t be happier! 

‘If you are looking to buy vacation property in Fernie, Deb Trand is the realtor you NEED to work with, she knows every detail about buying this type of property. We looked into a quarter share purchase about 9 years ago and the timing wasn’t right. We were very excited to find Deb again after all this time and she made the complicated transaction easy to handle, she patiently walked us through every step.’

‘We recently had the pleasure of working with Deb Trand.

Our search for property in Fernie was fast and furious and so was our search for a realtor. We contacted Deb based on her background, experience and invaluable reviews.

Deb quickly put together a list of properties, comparables and general information based on our criteria. We met Deb a couple of weeks later and spent the afternoon viewing potential listings as well as driving us around the various communities. Deb provided us with history, what’s new, what coming and all that Fernie has to offer! Together we found the perfect property and we can’t wait to spend time in Fernie and become part of the community.

From start to finish, the process and communication was first-rate. Deb is professional, experienced, very personable and down to earth. She is resourceful and well connected and has gone beyond to get our questions answered. She was a delight to work with.’ Tracy Bialowas

‘We worked with Deb to purchase our first home and couldn’t be happier with our experience. Deb walked us through every step of the process and answered all our questions. She is very approachable and warm and we fully trusted her to support us while we made a big life decision! Would fully recommend!’

We highly recommend Deb Trand as your realtor. She not only sold our quarter share to us but helped us 8 years later to sell our property. Highly professional and well informed, she faithfully kept us up to date on the Fernie market and any showings of our property. It has certainly been a pleasure to work with Deb and we wouldn’t hesitate to do so again.

“We would absolutely recommend Deb to any friends or family. She was always available to answer questions, going above and beyond to make our land purchase possible. Her calm demeanor smoothed out any road bumps along the way. Deb  is a true professional in her trade!”

‘We wanted to pass along a huge thank you to our realtor, Deb Trand, who helped us with our recent town-home purchase at Fernie Alpine Resort. Her knowledge, professionalism, friendly manner and availability were exceptional. She helped us to navigate through a difficult negotiation then continued to guide us through all the red tape to possession day. We have no hesitation in highly recommending her to our family and friends.’
